the truth is on a mass scale, there is something more important then the need to act without objection from authority- people need someone to tell them what is acceptable in how they behave and what isnt, and unfortunately people dont care about hell enough to stop so they have to be beaten to correct them selves, and i agree that the truth is that violence is the last resort of a simpleton, but only as a means to control idiots. if people were as smart as you assume there would be no need for a beating of protesters at the RNC, infact there would probably not be a RNC.
